Bug#631213: O: arp-scan -- arp scanning and fingerprinting tool

[Rene Mayorga]

Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

The current maintainer of arp-scan, Tim Brown ,
is apparently not active anymore.  Therefore, I orphan this package now.

Maintaining a package requires time and skills. Please only adopt this
package if you will have enough time and attention to work on it.

If you want to be the new maintainer, please see
http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/index.html#howto-o for detailed
instructions how to adopt a package properly.

To coin a phrase, I am not dead, just sleeping.  The current version of arp-
scan in Debian is functionally complete IMO.  There are some open bugs however 
a lack of any pressing need to upgrade the version in Debian, along with the 
loss of contact with my original sponsor lead to the neglect of the package 
for too long.  If other people are interested in (co-)maintaining it then 
great but I'm more than happy to continue.  FWIW of the 3 ourstanding bugs 1 
relates to the release of 1.7 (which didn't IMO add any pressing features) and 
1 related to a change to support a shared OUI database (which floundered with a 
lack of interest from all packagers not just myself).  The 3rd was only filed 
last week and is one that I could fix fairly quickly if I had a sponsor.

I took the package and I have a ITA open[0], I have a package in
mentors.d.n waiting to be uploaded and am awaiting the response from
the upstream about a error in the new version compilation.
I see you've renamed the this bug, are you still interested in
maintaining the package?

Tim is still willing to be a co-maint, please try to coordinate with him the new

Tim,
I just uploaded the packaged updated to mentors[0] it appears lintian clean.
I think arp-scan is ready for upload while the upstream response my
email, unless one of the mentors deems otherwise.
Feel free to write me directly to my mail for anything.
